Ride or Die

Why isn't this stickied yet?

Works very nicely except requires modding "miner.sh" file to avoid the even card failure toggle back bug which prevents switching pools when an even number of cards is attempting to switch.
Email me if you want the version of miner.sh to prevent this.

This needs upgrade for more than 2 pools and also timed switch back to main pool after failure, but those aren't necessary.

Is it possible to run this on LinuxCoin?

I ran the config script, and have everything setup, but I get an error whe I run the startmining.sh script:

Code:

root@linuxcoin:/home/user/Downloads/Autominer# ./startmining.sh /home/user/Downloads//Autominer
Autominer Initialization...
Starting in /home/user/Downloads//Autominer
If this is the wrong directory, run "./startmining /path/to/Autominer" instead!
If the script fails, check the log file (default: /var/log/Autominer.log) for details of why.
Most likely, you haven't configured Autominer correctly.
If you can't work it out, don't give up, post at http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=19861.0 and I'll try to help!
Directory '/var/run/screen' must have mode 777.
Directory '/var/run/screen' must have mode 777.
root@linuxcoin:/home/user/Downloads/Autominer#

There ISN'T a directory "/var/run/screen" there IS "/run/screen"

Do I have to install anything over the basic setup of LinuxCoin?

I'm getting the "There is no screen to be attached matching miner-1" message when starting the Autominer. I'm on ubuntu 11.07. Got x running and everything installed that I'm supposed to.

Is there any chance you could make the older version available? I had no problem running the one before the new interface.

Yes phoenix is patched. Directly launching it works fine (as in the command you provided).

running ./getrates.sh however, produces the following:

./getrates.sh: ./getRate.py: /usr/bin/python2: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
./getrates.sh: line 42: /1000: syntax error: operand expected (error token is "/1000")

For anyone having this problem just edit getRate.py

change

#!/usr/bin/python2

to

#!/usr/bin/python

This may not work on legacy systems which have python 1 and 2 installed, you would be better off going into /usr/bin, finding out the name of your python executable and creating a symlink to it.

For example, if it's called python26 (many are), do:

ln -s /usr/bin/python26 /usr/bin/python2

OK for anyone struggling to start the script at reboot this is the best way I've found:

In Gnome go to System/Preferences/Startup Application or just find Startup Applications and add the script there.

Then when you connect via SSH just type:

screen -r to get the info screen.

since X isn't running then i think you need to have it start xterm, which is `autoOpenXterm="1"` in common.lib.

I tried, but that is not the problem.
Any other suggestions?

Btw I also tried:

export DISPLAY=:0
sudo DISPLAY=:0 ./startmining.sh

But it didn't work too.

I still have problems starting autominer. after i copied the .screen_Autominer, the starting window appears for a millisecond. the miner is working, but still no window. screen -list also shows no screen called "amm".

Any ideas?

So I'm still trying to start the script via SSH and it does not work. I type:

sudo DISPLAY=:0 ./startmining.sh /home/cyper/Autominer
or
DISPLAY=:0 sudo ./startmining.sh /home/cyper/Autominer
or
sudo DISPLAY=:0 ./startmining.sh

All I get is this:

Also here is the log from Autominer.log:

It is only a good idea if the script can check the connection to Pool 1 without interrupting the mining process, because otherwise if Pool 1 still has connection issues then the script will disconnect from Pool 2 every 10 minutes to check Pool 1 = not very efficient.

No need kill te pool 2 proccess(can start 2 phoenix whit same card), if connect pool 1 and start mining, kill pool 2 process.

For me now works really good

.

I`ve a suggestion.

When change to 2nd pool, check status of pool 1 every 10 minutes and if its ok, put mining on 1st pool again.

Sometimes have connection problems and miner change pool and no back to pool 1, keep on pool 2.

Well, something happened now. You were right, the .screen_Autominer file was not copied.

When i start the script now using VNC, the CPU runs with 100% and nothing else happens... there is still no xterm opening.
(Had real hard problems to get the control back)

I will recheck this when I have more time and be able to control the machine physically without VNC.

Stay tuned Wink

For some reason it looks like everything is working but the main 'amm' screen isn't connecting.

The screenrc is in the Autominer directory, do ls -a, it's .screenrc_Autominer I think (don't have a box to hand).

If that file is empty, you need to redownload autominer and re-untar it.

If you copied or moved the directory, it could be that it didn't move the invisible file.

anything useful in the Autominer.log? you can list the active screen sessions with `screen -ls` there should be a 'miner', 'amm', and 'temps' at least, and then a 'cardX-miner' for each of your cards.

I installed screen, yes.
And I'm using a root terminal.
